STOCKTON — Boy Scouts and the San Joaquin Regional Transit District are teaming up Saturday to collect food for the needy.

It’s a precursor to RTD’s annual Stuff the Bus food drive, where people can donate non-perishable food by bringing it to buses strategically placed in spots around San Joaquin County. That event starts Nov. 22.

But this Saturday, the Boy Scouts from the Greater Yosemite Council are stuffing a bus with donations collected through its annual Scouting for Food program.It will end the Scouts’ efforts to collect food from neighborhoods throughout the city.
